Core Subject Description: Evolution of our understanding of matter, motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and the universe from ancient times to the
present; applications of physics and chemistry concepts in contexts such as atmospheric phenomena, cosmology, astronomy, vision, medical
instrumentation, space technology, drugs, sources of energy, pollution and recycling, fitness and health, and cosmetics.
Culminating Performance Standard: Create either a printed or electronic picture catalogue showing the day – to – day applications of Astronomy,
Mechanic, Optics, and Relativity and reflect on the social, cultural, environmental/ or economic dimensions that these may represent.

INTRODUCTION: Comic strips often express messages or provide brief glances of events or stories. Key elements of a comic strip include character, setting,
and plot — all conveyed in a few frames through a combination of pictures, captions, and dialogue. Below is the given example of a comic strip.
SITUATION: Have you ever looked up at the night sky and dreamed of traveling to other planets in faraway star systems? Would there be other life forms?
What would other worlds look like? You might imagine that such an amazing trip would be possible if we could just travel fast enough, but you will read in
this chapter why this is not true. In 1905 Albert Einstein developed the theory of special relativity. This theory explains the limit on an object’s speed and
describes the consequences. Supposed you are going to travel back in time using the applications of special relativity, then you encountered Einstein. What
are you going to ask to him? Create a comic strip of your conversation, then illustrate other examples that will apply the given topic. (Minimum of 6 boxes)
